JUNE 2015 Mission-Cards For A Cause
2015 Cards For A Cause
JUNE MISSION Stamp from the Heart!
ORGANIZATION BEING FEATURED:
Bright Star Center of Health First
Description of Organization:
The Bright Star Center assists children ages 3-18 through the grieving process. Children grieve very differently than adults. At Bright Star they are encouraged to express grief both verbally and through positive play. Art, Children's yoga, grief groups, and a one day camp are just a few activities offered.
Teens in the program take pride in "giving back" through a pet food bank program that donates food to families in the hospice program. This program offers Fellowship and a sense of purpose. These kids are amazing!!
CONTACT PERSON:
Teresa - va.sunshine
Referred by:
Fellow SCSer- Donna Jennings
TYPE OF CARDS:
Birthday, Encouragement, Thank You cards for the teens to use, any other cards for young children to young adult. Please include envelopes if possible.
For a little added inspiration you can join us in playing along with the OPTIONALchallenge each month. This is only optional and you do not have to play along to send your cards to the featured cause for the month. We always take cards no matter if you play along in the challenge or not. This months challenge is to use a star on your card. Be sure to use the keyword C4AC21 so that we can check out your card and comment! To see this months gallery C4AC21 click here. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another exciting announcement, we now have a badge for you to proudly display on your blog; here is the link. Sticky:Cards For A Cause Blog Badge
Also, we have a section now for on going Cards For A Cause, these are organizations that take cards all year. If after your monthly generous giving you have others, go here..thank you so much for all you do!
Fellow SCSer's, thank you for spreading your SCS love! Please feel free to mail your cards all throughout the month of October!
Once you have mailed them come back to us here and let us know they have gone postal!
Thank YOU!

I'm getting back into card-making after over a year away from it. I love making cards but don't have a lot of people to make cards for so I am thrilled to have found this mission forum. Today, instead of cleaning, I made four cards with stars! Hoping I'll have more time (and inspiration) to make more cards for this cause this month.

I know the month is practically over, but could I still donate some cards? I have accumulated soooo many through swaps, that I really need to put some to better use (that just sitting in a plastic container in my closet!).

I'm going to be a bit late for this month. I've got 6 cards made but my craft room is in the middle of a purge. I hope to clear a large enough work area that I can finish my cards for the cause tomorrow.
yes of course, I have not sent mine this month either. Thank you so much for your willingness to help!
Great - I will get them in the mail w/in the next day or 2. I went through my
bins. I've got hundreds of cards - I think I've found about 30 that would be good to send for this cause.
Looking forward to sending more to future months' causes!
As I was packing up the cards - it just dawned on me. Should I also include envelopes? I'm thinking the answer is yes - but just wanted to check.
Envelopes are much appreciated.
